Ooo lots of ideas now as I have most of what you’ve used. Thank you for sharing these fab ideas. Love the cards at the end. Ams that second line of gold on the bird paper was perfect. ❤
Thank you so much Nan for that kind comment! And I’m really glad you agree with that second line of gold! Sometimes I just second guess myself and start to rethink what I’ve already done. 😮💕💕
They are all so beautiful. Ruth down under.
Thank you so much Ruth! I appreciate you coming to watch the video and leave a comment! And I guess I’m Karen from Up North! 😂❤️❤️🇨🇦
Massive inspiration!! I'm in awe!! You taught me so much. Will save this one! ❤
Thank you so very much Helen! I hope you have lots of fun! 😊💕💕
Great tutorial, and the cards you shared at the end are stunning! I was hoping to see a little more of those!😁
Thank you so much Tricia! And I’m so glad you liked the cards even if there were only only a few! 😂❤️❤️
Even if I could afford a foiling machine, I don't have room for it (or a laminator) in my craft space. I've seen other videos where glue or adhesive is used for foiling, but this one does a particularly good job of showing exactly what to do for the best results.
Thank you so much! I really appreciate your kind comment! 🤗❤️
Holy cow! Awesome!! Definitely gonna try the stencil one, never done that! So thanks soooooo much for sharing this!!!
Thank you so much Annie! The stencil one really is fun and has so many possibilities depending on your stencil. 😄💕💕
Great video.. Sometimes I use my brayer to put the glue on because it is flat and does not allow the glue to get into the cracks !! LOVE your videos... all of them xx
That’s a great idea to use the brayer Catherine! Thank you so much for your kind comment too! ❤️❤️
Really like the slimline gold. Haven't seen that technique. Love the stripes. Thanks.
Thank you so much! It’s always fun to add a little gold shine to a card. 😄💕💕
Thank you 🥰😊🤩
You are so very welcome and thank you for your comment! 😄❤️❤️
Karen that video was one of the best U have seen in ages. So many fantastic ideas, without spending a fortune on extras and the ideas just kept coming. I know I'll be watching this again as I try these techniques. I have that same paper and love the idea of adding foiled veins on the alcohol ink look. 👏👏👏👏
Thank you so much Aileen! The hard part with that Craft Consortium paper is knowing how many of those veins to foil - I want to keep going with them! 😂😂💕💕
Thank you so very much for this wonderful tutorial! I have a few foils and have yet to use them. I feel ready to give it a try now.😊
Thank you so much Laura and I hope you have fun with your foils! ❤️❤️
Hi Karen what a super video with so many ideas. I love foiling and now have some more steps to add to my "artillery" . Many thanks
Thank you so much Diane! I also love adding that extra touch of some foil so I’m really glad you found the video helpful. 🤗💕💕
Easily distracted by shiny objects 🙋🏼♀️
Loved it all.
Thank you so much Kari! I am also easily distracted by the shiny things! 😄💕💕
Such great information all in one place. Love all the cards you made .
Thank you so much Jane and I’m really glad you liked the cards! I really enjoy seeing what other crafters do to make cards so I try to add those in. 😄💕💕

Oh, Karen. Just beautiful! So many great ideas! Thank you.
Thank you so much Jan! Those acetate toner sheets worked really well, so have fun with them. 😄💕💕
Those are some seriously beee-utiful cards! Thank you for sharing such varied techniques that we can do without the expensive investment of a hot foil machine … and all the plates! I hear my stash of foils calling to me in my craft room! Hope there will be time today for a bit of inspired play. Love your videos!! 🧑🏼🎨😀🌻
Thank you so much Mari! I hope you have lots of fun with those foils and put them to good use! It’s such a pretty look to have some foil on a card. 😊💕💕
Love these abs love your soothing voice and jokes!
Thank you so much Becky! 💕💕
I love foil and I love all of your videos...I appreciate you and all you do. Your cards are beautiful.
Thank you so very much Teresa! I really do appreciate your kindness and the time you take to leave a comment. 🤗💕💕
These are gorgeous! I don't have a laminator but I do have lots of the other supplies. I never knew what to do with them all, now I have a brain full of ideas, thank you! I've passed up bulk packages of sheets of foil, at the thrift store, cheap, because I didn't think I could use them. I won't make that mistake again, lol. Again, thank you! All of your ideas are wonderful!
Thank you so much! I’m so glad I may have been able to give you a little inspiration and I hope you have lots of fun with those thrift store foils! 😁💕💕
Great ideas thanks for the tutorial!
You are so welcome! Hope you have fun. 😄💕💕
So glad I found your channel. Your videos are full of ideas I haven't seen anywhere else, and this one's no exception. That swiffer tip is brilliant too. I also put what I'm using the gilding flakes on in an old chocolate box to help corral the mess.
Thank you so very much Tracey! I also got a tip from another viewer about using a lint roller to pick up the glitter and foil, and it works really well. I think even better than the Swiffer cloth. I will give your box a try too now. 😄💕💕
Marion Emberson uses what she picks up with the lint roller (embossing powder and glitter) to make some really pretty die cut elements. I expect it'd work with gilding flakes too.@@KarensKardzz
I was just looking at my lint roller today as it’s covered in some glitter, and I was thinking how pretty it was! That’s a great idea to try die cutting from it. Thank you so much! 😄
Thank you for your wonderful foiling tips!
Thank you Linda! It’s so fun to be able to add some pretty shine. 😄💕💕
@@KarensKardzz I totally love shine, glitter and sparkle 💖 on my cards!
Ooh I love watching your videos! You are so inspiring.👍👍💕💕🐶🇬🇧
Thank you so much Maureen! I’m so glad I may help give you a little inspiration! 💕💕
Great ideas, thank you
Thank you so much Yvonne! 😄💕💕
Lots of great ideas ❤
Thank you so very much Marty! It’s a fun technique to add the foil. 💕💕
I’ve just found your video and loved listening to you describing how you created all your techniques. I must admit, using glue on stamps always makes me a little nervous so haven’t done it but your calm approach is inspiring me to try.❤ I have foils and hardly ever use them so thanks so much! Love the leaves on the colourful background. 😊
Thank you so much Caron! I’m glad you may have found a little inspiration here. I know what you mean about putting glue on your stamps makes you nervous, but the final effect with the foiling is so worth it! Just have water at hand for the stamp. 😄💕💕
Lots of great ideas, thank you Karen. now i'm going to go play
Thank you so much Debra! I hope you have as much fun playing as I did. 😄💕💕
Oh wow! Thanks for this. The snowflake one was AMAZING. ❄️❄️❄️ And those cards are gorgeous.
Thank you so much Karen! The snowflake one was really fun. 😄💕💕
I have resisted the whole foiling craze (despite the high impact it makes) because of the expense of the machine and dies - just not going there. BUT your video and the calm, careful way you walk through the various processes make it seem SO do-able, I’m going to give this a try. Thank you for your tips, time and effort. The cards are lovely as is your manner and voice. I have subscribed!
Thank you so much Laurel! I know what you mean about the high cost of the machine foiling. I do have the machine, but the plates just keep getting more expensive it seems. I hope you have lots of fun with these foils - just be prepared for some flyaway mess from the gilding flakes if you get those 😄. And thank you for subscribing! 💕💕
Great ideas
Thank you so much Joy! 💕💕
Great tips, thank you. I have that laminator. I find running my foiling through my die cutting machine between two clean plates still hot and in the parchment paper makes great foiling every time ❤️
Thank you so much Monica and I may borrow your technique! 😄 💕💕
Wow Karen these are beautiful. Thank you for sharing your creativity with me because I'm one of the few who does not own a laminator. This was extremely helpful.
Thank you so much Stella! Those gilding flakes and foil really are fun, and add such a nice touch to a card. I hope you have lots of fun with them! 😄💕💕
WOW! What an amazing video! Thank you so much for all those ideas
Thank you so very much Christine! I really do appreciate it. I hope you’re having a great day. 💕💕
I’m with you - I do the exact same thing when I foil with my laminator - it DOES make a difference‼ This was such an awesome video 😃
Thank you so much Sarah! I’m glad I’m not alone with the laminator dilemma! 😂💕💕
Hi Karen, love these ideas..thankyou for sharing 😊
Thank you so much Pattie! I hope you have fun with it if you give it a try! 😊💕💕
Thank you so much for this video. I have lots of foils but no idea how to use them. I do now!!!
I’m so glad the video may have helped give you some foiling ideas! Thank you so much Lainey! 💕💕
I love your videos! Your voice is so sweet and soothing😊 I love your technique tutorials and your projects are so beautiful! You give me so much inspiration. TFS! 🌹 Ali K. (SUBSCRIBED!)
Thank you so much Allison! That’s such a sweet comment and I do appreciate it. I’m also very happy that you subscribed! 😄💕💕
Thanks for all the tips.
You are so welcome Rocio! I hope it gave you some ideas. 😊💕💕
Thanks so much Karen for this tutorial/video I have lots of Foils and hardy use them, even though I’ve got the Heidi Swapp mini machine. I have used glue on small parts of a card and didn’t think about the double sided tape, great idea. Thanks again. Sandy 🌸
Thank you so much Sandy! I’m so glad you found it helpful and I hope you have lots of fun with the foil! 😄💕💕
@@KarensKardzz 🌸
LOVE THIS!!!!
Thank you so much Wendy! I really do appreciate your taking the time to leave a comment! 🤗💕💕
All of your cards are stunning. A lot of times I make a background, but then I can't come up with ideas as to how to turn it into a card. Could you show us your thought process for your finished cards?
Thank you so very much Bonnie! And I love your idea about making a video on how to turn backgrounds into cards. I’ve actually had the same idea in the back of my mind for quite a while now as I have an enormous box of “backgrounds”, and I had thought I probably wasn’t alone in that. 😂. I just haven’t found the courage to tackle that box, but I’ll try to get that done and turn it into a video. 😄💕💕
Beautiful!
Thank you so much! 💕💕
Great tutorial Thank you for sharing x
Thank you so much Jacky! I really appreciate it. 💕💕
I saw a video where the negative piece of foil was placed inside a clear laminator pouch and run through a laminator. Then it was trimmed down to fit the card front ❤️
You get full marks for paying attention Marty! I think that was my video that you saw where I laminated the leftover foil. It works so well and I’ve been doing quite a bit of laminating since then. 😂💕💕
@@KarensKardzz I can’t wait to try it on my Christmas cards that I’m making 💕
I think you’ll love it! 😄
Love the Circles ! .. Thankyou and subscribed ..Lovely Cards 😍
Thank you so much and thanks too for subscribing ! Those circles were fun to do. 😄💕💕
@@KarensKardzz 😁😁💕💓
Wow vraiment magnifique 👍
Merci beaucoup! 💕💕
Wow!!!! What an impact that makes to a card! Thanks ever so much Karen, you encourage me so much.❤
Thank you so very much Anne! I really do appreciate you! 🤗💕💕
@@KarensKardzz 🧑🏻🦳👏👍😘
I’m so glad I came across your video. I am not willing to spend the high dollar on a foiling machine and your techniques seem easy enough to do. Thank you so much for sharing. I have subscribed to your channel. I do have a laminator. Did you use parchment paper on top when running it through the laminator? Thanks again!
Hi Laura, thank you so much for your comment and for subscribing! I’m sorry to take so long to get back to you, but we’re travelling in Europe at the moment. I did use parchment paper with one cardstock shim for the first pass, and then I do a second pass in the parchment paper without the shim. I find that helps prevent things (eg. glitter) from moving around inside the pouch. I’ve tried doing it without the parchment, but found I was losing my embellishments inside the laminator, so wouldn’t recommend that! 😂💕💕
Hello, great video. I’m a total novice and this helps a lot. What type of paper are you using to run the foil/card thru the laminator (baking, wax, etc.)? TIA.
Hi Mirna, I’m glad you enjoyed the video! I used parchment paper to run the foiled card through my laminator. The parchment paper actually came with my laminator and it’s thinner than the parchment paper I use for baking. Lately though, I’ve been using a piece of acetate folded in half and using that as my carrier. It seems to work really well. I hope that helps! 💕💕
New sub here. Love yor tips. One question: Would ModPodge work as an adhesive for the base?
Thank you Sharon! I’m not sure if the Mod Podge dries sticky? If it does, it might work. I’d suggest trying a little on some scrap cardstock and see what happens. 😄💕💕
@@KarensKardzz I will give it a try. I don't know either because I've never worked with it. I will let you know. Love your tutorials.
SO gorgeous Karen! I have never tried using foil flakes, now I want to. Also, you mentioned using a spray adhesive for the left over foil sheets. I don't have good luck with the adhesive sprays but which one would you recommend?
Thank you so much Darcy! I’ve been using the E6000 spray and it seems to work quite well. I try to give it some time to dry before doing too much with it ( maybe 15 to 30 minutes). I bought mine at Michael’s here in Canada, but I think you can also get it on Amazon. I hope that helps and have fun with the foiling! 😄💕💕
@@KarensKardzz Thanks and one more quick question.. what do you find works the best for smoothing down the foil over the spray adhesive? I'll check Amazon for it.
Hi Darcy, I’m so sorry I didn’t see this earlier! I usually use my bone folder to give the foil some extra pressure. I find it also helps to bring out a bit more shine when the foil is pressed. But I don’t use too much force as sometimes that makes the sticky glue somehow rise to the top. I’m not sure if that’s what’s really happening, but it seems like it to me. 😂
Karen, where did you get your laminating machine?
Hi Judy, I bought mine off Amazon several years ago. It was only around $25 and is made by Scotch. It works well for me, but I have heard others say that the Heidi Swapp Minc machine is better than a laminator. Just a thought… 😊❤️
@@KarensKardzz Karen, thank you for the quick reply. 😊🌵
Great tips and techniques and I love the gorgeous foiling results, I will try this for sure! Thank you for the great video and inspiration! ❤️
Lots of great ideas ❤
